responsible duties of the position Mr..

The position is one, however, that calls
more for a man of ~clear-headed honesty OF

needs and with business ~sagacity to draw
the line between cheese-paring economy
and extravaganza than a party politician.
Such a man can readily be found among
the business men Of this city, and a bet

man who has already proved his fitness in
the same position, Mr.. w. NJ. Jack.

ITS STAR HAS SET.

it would be when the announcement
was made that the fro was to
be subdued by means OF in.
jecting carbonic acid gas into the mine.
He had no faith in that, for the reason
that the fire was fed by too much fresh air
getting in in various ways to allow it to
be effective. It has been. tried too often
and proved Intellectual under similar cir
c~umstances. It 10 noticeable that the Min
ing and Engineering Journal has nothing to
say OF the failure OF it's favorite mode OF
extinguishing frss Of that kind. Many
practical miners have wondered that the
great Lake Company, with 40 many emf
nent men Of science to advise them. should
have worked their mine in the name they
did. If they had taken the proper prscau-
tions in opening their mine, so that when a
fire happened the shaft would remain pro-
tected, the slopes might have been lost but
the main t~horoughfarss Of tho mine would
not. When the fire once gained any head
way in the shaft all hope might a. well
have been abandoned at once. The mine
is effectually destroyed.
With the large extent Of territory owned
by this company. they have plenty OF room
left to open q new mine. The work OF
sinking and running levels will have to be
begun anew. 1t can easily bs conjectured
how long it will be before Calumet and
Hecla will again be q factor in the market.
The great Mogul Of the copper market will
be unable to bear prices ~ it has done in
the past for many q day. Tho other mines
there which have been shut down by the
low prices produced BY the Calumet and
Hecla policy will now. with tie advancing
market, be able to start up and furnish
employment to tho many minors rendered
idle by the stoppass OF tho big mine, 90
that the distress thereby threatened will
be, it may be hoped, DON alleviated.

sustained their stock being consumed by
game they were forbidden to kill. They &C.
cordingly turned in and slaughtered the
game by the hundred, and this shocking
violation OF the game laws OF the realm
produced . crisis that has awaked the En-
slish Government to the necessities of the
croitsrs. The simplest way to remove the
troubles under which these hardy people
labor would have been to repeal the
laws for the protection OF game. But that
would be too shocking a violation OF all
that is sacred in the eyes OF
the British sportsman to be entertained
for Q moment. and the Government could
not afford to ignore the amusements of the

IN intensely English colony where their 10y

people will be a loss to their native land it

that has been going on Tor years of throw.

from the country the hardest peas

their presence. America and the colonies
Of England have benefited by this, but if
left to themselves these "children of the
mist" choose homes in mountainous places,
no matter how barren it may appear, since
In q measure they are thus reminded of the
highland country they left. The English
Government has therefore shown sense in
first sending one Of the crofters themselves
to it's western colony to ste the land and
report upon its fitness for the removal
thither OF as many Of the overcrowded in
habitants OF the Hebrides as will accept
transportation there before removing them
from their native land. There can be no

every respect as the climate and a%gricul.

on arriving there are likely to regard it as

can only say that so far the Boston resolu-
tons concerned, they conclusive evil

the bill now pending. A member of the Massa-

speakers. One of the trustees of the Allan ia

mite The resolutions need no reply, except
rigid adherence by the State to her policy. Her
honor the fame of her Governor. and the maj

We deny right, we recognize the equality of
all men before the law. we give the same advan-
tages to all, but only ask that line of separa-
tion be drawn between the races. We par
don many men who do not know our surround
ings. and the resolutions, outside of the senti-
ment they show to exist, need no reply except
to meet the further spread of ideas antagonstc
to our State by such legislation as may be neces-
sary. So far as l am able to observe, there has
not issued from the press Of Boston one word of
disapprobation of this meeting wonder II 1t
